OT. I took an Audiometry exam.

I took a hearing test today. It's not that I'm having trouble hearing, if certain people just wouldn't mumble. I think my wife must have super hearing cause she always says I need to turn the TV down. Restaurants must add noise so people can't talk to you so you will eat faster and they can serve the next group. ;- Left ear-- down 15db to 3kHz, 50db at 4k, 80db at 6K, and 8k. Right ear-- down 10db to 3kHz, 30db at 4k, 50db at 6k and 60db at 8k Right ear is actually 5 db better from about 1KHz down. While in the quiet room about half way through I started to hear a little tinnitus which confused things a little bit. I'm a little surprised to see the sharp drop at 3khz, I thought that would be 6kHz or 8kHz. Part of the reason I went in was because I thought my high frequency was improving, I started to hear things like my phone ringing, but it wasn't my phone. I even heard a boat alarm from 60 yards, I ask 4 males if they heard that alarm, none could pickup on it, yesterday I ask a female, she did hear it although could not decide which of the three boats in the area it was from. The alarms been on for about a week now, but the boat is on a hoist so it won't sink. To this point, when I thought I heard my phone ring, (and this is usually when the phone is inside the boat and I'm outside) I just figured I heard some other ringing, lots of boats and people with phones around the marina. Now, I'm wondering if the ringing was in my ear. Happened about six times. Any, just wanted to see if others had their story or some talk about their Audiometry graph, hearing or hearing aids. Mikek

Stop talking to Liberals!

Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Nah, just a free test a Sam's, he said the more thorough one would be free also. The hearing aids aren't free.
